Yizkereim “Pikuach Nefesh” Documentary Available

The third of the highly successful Yizkereim: Remember Them documentary series, Pikuach Nefesh, is now available to shuls and communities for the Three Weeks. Last year, Yizkereim presented Shanghai Miracleand Sh’eiris Hapleitah at over 170 venues around the globe to great acclaim.

Pikuach Nefesh presents the dramatic and previously neglected stories of two of Klal Yisroel‘s great heroes, Rav Michoel Ber Weissmandl of Nitra and Rav Shlomo Schonfeld of the Kindertransport, individuals who through great personal sacrifice succeeded in saving thousands of neshamos from the inferno of the Holocaust. Hopefully, these inspirational accounts of kiddush Hashem will arouse greater adherence to mitzvos and help strengthen emunah, goals particularly relevant to the Bein Hametzarim period.

Yizkereim is a historic initiative jointly sponsored by Torah Umesorah’s Zechor Yemos Olam and the Rabbi Leib Geliebter Memorial Foundation. Together, they have produced an acclaimed series of inspiring films that document facts of the Holocaust not previously highlighted, stories of spiritual survival and resistance.
